Bike-a-thon

The students will be participating in a modified Ironman Triathlon on Thursday.  The student body works together to run 26 miles.  Last year they made it with the help of preschoolers, kindergartners, elementary students and the middle school students. 
So far they have completed the laps while at the YMCA.  So today was the day we worked on our bike miles.  Everyone brought their bike (thank you parents for hauling them to school!) and helmet and were excited to bike around the park next to the school.  We set out cones and explained the traffic pattern so everyone would be safe and -  they were off! 
After 45 minutes and no collisions and only one injury, the students completed a total of 317 laps at 0.45 mile per lap (which the older students will figure out the math tomorrow).  The goal was 112 miles - I think we made it!
